  • Sending memes, links, and videos to others isn't trivial. It signals that you're thinking of them and want them to share your joy.

It's known as pebbling, based on penguins gifting pebbles to potential partners.

Pebbling is an act of care. Every pebble is a bid for connection.

All this is welcome Adam, but surely you are not in any family WhatsApp group where that one Aunt will send daily goodmorning messages. Or that one friend who sends one flower to all contacts. Daily. 😊

Such a fun concept - pebbling. And, for so many who struggle to put their feelings of love or care into words, it's an easy and safe proxy that lets them share their sense of connectedness, without feeling too vulnerable.
